Hello, I require some assistance.

Question

I am asked to discuss how Jonathan Swift satirizes human behavior in "Gulliver's Travels" through the contrasting characterizations of the Houyhnhnm and the Y ahoo.

I am somewhat confused by this question. Does the Houyhnhnm represent the intellectual side and the Y ahoo represent the pure instinct?
